I find the use of IN redundant since it is the default, but
this is a matter of taste, as usual the critical thing is to
be consistent. I especially find the use of IN annoying in
functions.

I find the extra ); on its own line offensive and unnatural,
just as clear, and much easier on the eye to write

In GNAT we prefer to put things on a single line:

>    procedure Foo (D : in out Data; C : Data);

If they fit comfortably on one line, and use the form with
one line per parameter only if that is not the case.
